Tremec transmission swap?

[Dena]

I have read quite a few reports that complain about the MT86, that is precisely why I wanted input from this group on the feasibility of the Tremec transplant. My fingers are still crossed that it will be better in the S650 than it was in the previous models.

There is the other side. My car has an early T45 transmission. I didn't know till recently that the transmission had a wear problems on the 3-4 gear fork. Ford corrected the problem however I am pretty sure my transmission doesn't have the fix. It has gone over 170,000 miles without an issue. I suspect the problem is the result of people racing and Jamming the transmission into gear. If you're easy on a car, you may never have the problems that other people are having. Then again, Ford may have resolved the problem and you still will not have an issue.

I'm sure for my usage it will be fine. My days of foot to floor power shifts are pretty much over, also not what convertibles are for, imho.

i hope Ford fixed the issues with this new MT-82, but this (picture) doesn't make me so confident in that

I could be wrong, but I don’t think that Ford would use the same transmission in a V8 Mustang as they use in a 4 cylinder Bronco. The Mustang transmission is an MT86 and this transmission is an MT88 Or so it states in the link.
